2026 Outlook

Watson tied a team-high 61.1 receiving yards per game in 2025 with prime opportunity to break out in 2026. The departure of Romeo Doubs to the New England Patriots in free agency opens passing volume, and star tight end Tucker Kraft could miss the start of the season due to a torn ACL. This positions Watson as the focal point of Green Bay's passing game at the beginning of the year. In a contract year, Watson has the chance to prove his elite potential.
